Formscan By Stuart Howden - KATE KNOWS BEST showed up well to finish second over 2m7f on her hurdles debut at Killarney last month and is an appealing option based on the assumption that dropping in trip can be a source for further improvement. The Willie Mullins-trained Get In Line is another notable type for consideration given the obvious lure of her powerful yard, while Cloonainra, a Ballycrystal point-to-point winner in April, also catches the eye on her first start under Rules.
